QUEBEC CITY – EXFO is hosting it’s first-ever Innovation Summit in Lac-Beauport, QC this week under the theme of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Featuring speakers from NASA, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Amazon, EXFO said that the three day event is intended to contribute to the future of communications technology and promote its leadership with high level customers.
The company added that over 95% of the world's major telecom operators – including Verizon, British Telecom, Bell, and Orange – use its test instruments and software to manage and monitor their communications networks.
"The Innovation Summit initiative is a natural fit for our organization," said EXFO CEO Philippe Morin, in a statement. "When EXFO was founded over 30 years ago, we already had a bold vision: we were convinced that optical fibre was the future of global communications networks. Since then, we've constantly reinvented our way of doing things and helped shape industry standards. Today, we're drawing on our tradition of excellence in innovation to lay the groundwork for the deployment of 5G."
